The Stormbringer cover is by Michael Whelan. It is called "Stormbringer" and is one of his most famous works. The earliest use I know of is for Daw Books in 1977. The artist sells prints of it on his website.

Gotta say, despite the, um, lackluster monsters contained in the original Fiend Folio, the cover really sold me on the book back when it first came out. I still think it was worth the price just for that!

That Traveller image was also used on the 2nd edition of the SpaceMaster Companion I from Iron Crown. The piece is by Jim Burns, a famous science-fiction artist from the 1970s on... so I'm sure it appeared somewhere, from the sounds of it, likely on a Robert Silverberg book cover...

Thieves' World supplement http://www.blackgate.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Thieves-World-Chaosium.jpg using the same cover art as the first book in the series. I have to agree with the FF cover, it made up for the inclusion of the Flumph.
